  1. Welcome Common Core State Standards Gilbert Public Schools Implementation Parent ForumsApril 1 & 16, 2013

  2. The Beginning

  3. Common Core State Standards Criteria • Aligned with college and career expectations • Include content and rigorous application of knowledge through higher-order skills • Internationally benchmarked, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society • Based on evidence and research

  4. Common Core State Standards Process State-led initiative spearheaded by governors and state school chief officers • College and Career Readiness Standards developed in summer 2009 • Multiple rounds of feedback gathered from states, teachers and various stakeholders

  5. Common Core State Standards Process Voluntary adoption by states • Encouraged in Race to the Top application • Arizona State Board of Education adopted 2010 • GPS must implement CCSS

  6. Common Core State Standards • K-12 Standards: • English Language Arts (ELA) • Includes Literacy Standards for Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects • Mathematics • Social Studies/History & Science are forthcoming

  7. What is Not Covered in the CCSS • The Standards do not dictate how teachers should teach, rather they define what all students are expected to know and be able to do. • The Standards do not describe all that can or should be taught, however, they focus on what is most essential. • The Standards do not define the intervention methods or materials necessary to support students who are well below or well above grade-level expectations, instead they set grade-specific standards. • Local control

  8. History of Educational Reform • 1983: A Nation at Risk • Failed to meet national need for competitive workplace • Decline of SAT scores (1963-1980) • 1989: President George H.W. Bush & Governors adopt goals • “All children will leave grades 4, 8, & 12 having demonstrated competency in challenging subject matter.”

  9. History of Educational Reform • 1989: (continued) • Issued grants to subject-matter organizations • NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) • 1994: Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) • Required all states to develop challenging standards in Math & English Language Arts with assessments to measure performance against the standards • 2002: President George Bush further incentivized standards-based reform through NCLB (No Child Left Behind)

  10. Problems with Previous Educational Reform • State benchmarks varied • States lowered proficiency levels to avoid sanctions • Subject-matter organizations presented far too much content • Teachers had difficulty covering material with any depth • Student mobility • Lack of national comparison

  11. Support for Common Core State Standards • Provides a common curriculum • Provides comparable tests and proficiency levels • Is internationally benchmarked • Addresses student mobility

  12. Opposition against Common Core State Standards • Prefers local school governance • Believes CCSS only targets the difference between states but not within • May produce least common denominator effect

  13. Adoption of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) www.corestandards.org

  14. English Language Arts(ELA) Common Core State Standards

  15. ELA – 4 Areas Reading • Balance of literature and informational texts • Text complexity Writing • Emphasis on argument and informative/explanatory writing • Writing using a variety of sources Speaking and Listening • Inclusion of formal and informal talk Language • Focus on general academic and content-specific vocabulary

  16. Balance of Fiction & Informational Text • The Standards require certain critical content for all students, including: classic myths and stories from around the world, America’s Founding Documents, foundational American literature, and Shakespeare. www.corestandards.org

  18. Learning Progressions Common Core Reading Anchor Standard Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. Analyze theimpact of the author’s choices regarding how to develop and relate elementsof a story or drama(such as where a story is set, how the action is ordered, how the characters are introduced and developed). 11th – 12th 9th – 10th Analyze howcomplex characters (such as those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text,interact with other characters,and advance the plot or develop the theme.. 8th Analyze how particularlines of dialogue or incidents in a story or dramapropel the action, reveal aspects of a character, or provide a decision. Analyzehow particularelementsof a story or dramainteract (such as how setting shapes the characters or plot). 7th 6th Describehowa particular story’s or drama’s plotunfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the charactersrespond or change as the plot moves toward resolution. 5th Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text(such as how characters interact). 4th Describein deptha character, setting,or eventin a storyor drama, drawing on specific details in the text (such as a character’s thoughts, words, or actions). 3rd Describe characters in a story (such as their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events. 2nd Describehowcharacters in a storyrespond to major events and challenges. 1st Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story,using key details. Kinder With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story. Common Core State Standards & Marzano

  19. Math Common Core State Standards

  20. Mathematics Content Standards for Mathematical Content • K-5 standards provide students with a solid mathematical foundation including a strong focus on the prerequisites for algebra • 6-8 standards are robust & provide a coherent and rich preparation for high school mathematics, including algebraic concepts • High school standards presented by conceptual theme: Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics & Probability

  21. Mathematical Practices Standards for Mathematical Practice: • Carry across all grade levels • Describe habits of mind of a mathematically expert student www.corestandards.org

  24. Assessing College & Career Readiness Common Core State Standards

  25. Next Generation Assessments (NGA’s) • Realistic, complex performance task, immediate • feedback, and incorporate accommodations for a range of students • Better measure of higher-order thinking skills so • vital to success in the global economy of the 21st century • Students must analyze and solve complex • problems, communicate clearly, synthesize • information, apply knowledge , and generalize • learning to other settings

  32. Standards vs. Curriculum Standards • WHATstudents should know & be able to do. • Adopted by the Arizona State Board of Education in public meetings • Example: AZ 4th grade reading standard: “Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character’s thoughts, words, or actions) 4.RL.3.” Assessment Curriculum Instruction • HOWstudents are taught, including processes used • Example: Lesson Plans, Teacher developed projects • Materials and processes used to instruct Standards • Materials adopted by the local district governing boards in public meetings • Example: Text books, Reading lists • HOW well students have mastered the standards www.ArizonaCommonCore.org

  33. Curriculum Development Appendix B Examples • Literary Texts • Homer. The Odyssey • Henry, O. “The Gift of the Magi” • Steinbeck, John. The Grapes of Wrath • Shakespeare, William. The Tragedy of Macbeth • Johnson, James Weldon. “Lift Every Voice and Sing” • Frost, Robert. “Mending Well” • Informational Texts • Henry, Patrick .“Speech to the Second Virginia Convention” • Washington, George. “Farewell Address” • Lincoln, Abraham. “Gettysburg Address” • Lincoln, Abraham. “Second Inaugural Address” • Roosevelt, Franklin Delano. “State of the Union Address” • Reagan, Ronald. “Address to Students at Moscow State University” • Jefferson, Thomas. The Declaration of Independence www.ArizonaCommonCore.org

  34. How it Works (ELA) State Standards Curriculum Reading Literature 9th – 10th Grade Cite strong and thorough textual evidence of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Adopted by State Lesson Plan • Reading Literature 9th – 10th Grade • Drama: (Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet) • Poetry: (Dunbar’s “We Wear the Mask”) • Chosen by local Governing Board • Reading Literature • 9th – 10th Grade • Read “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar and use the reading Strategy to analyze and annotate the text. Students will write synthesizing the two texts. • Developed by Teacher www.ArizonaCommonCore.org

  35. How it Works (Math) State Standards Curriculum Math – 5th grade Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties. Adopted by State Lesson Plan Math – 5th grade Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Math Expressions Chosen by local Governing Board Reading Math – 5th grade Students record the names for triangles based on their side lengths and angle measures. Students will be able to sort and classify triangles and name them by their sides lengths and angle measures. Developed by Teacher www.ArizonaCommonCore.org
